After goals from Pedro and Robbie Brady saw the spoils shared at Turf Moor, we make our way to the Liberty as Swansea seek to build momentum under Paul Clement.

Gylfi Sigurdsson is the focal point in the 4pm kick-off, with the playmaker looking to score for the fourth successive Gameweek, having netted against Liverpool, Southampton and Man City in each of his previous league outings.

With a pair of assists also accrued over the last five, the Icelandic international was the most transferred in player for Gameweek 25, with 229,000+ new owners snapping up his services.

Given that the hosts are currently one of just six sides set to play in both Gameweek 26 and 28, the likes of Fernando Llorente and Alfie Mawson could also play their way into our short-term plans.

Leicester, meanwhile, have struggled for form at either end of the pitch. With one goal in seven and a single clean sheet away from home all season, Claudio Ranieri’s men have done little to persuade us they are worthy of investment right now.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

        People selling Sanchez, when are you planning to get him back? GW29 or GW31?

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Haven't sold him yet!!!!!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Depends how they are playing in the meantime. If donkey Giroud is back in the team then I'll stay clear for 29.

          1. Pariße
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            I doubt he'll win his place back when the right players are fit again.

        3. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          See how things plan out. Might come to trusting WBA and City to keep him quiet but I'll make sure I'm in a position to get him in for 29 if needs be!

        4. Netley Lucas
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          29 yeah, hoping for 11.2 but will pay whatever price.

        5. Ridcully
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Selling him if he blanks twice, planning to buy him back in Gameweek 29.

                Are there any other gw26 fixtures that could be affected by fa cup replays?

              do it

            2. Somalion
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Something to do with a Leicester FA Cup replay, or a tribal shaman in Mali. I haven't really followed it.

        Anything worth a hit?
        Sanchez->Hazard(-4) worth it?

        1. lordkippe

          do it

      • Henning
        • 11 Years

        Hmm im confused about what i should do.

        Foster Jakupovic
        Chambers McAuley Alonso Coleman Kingsley
        Phillips Sanchez Alli Antonio Stanislas
        Costa Ibra Lukaku

        i have 2 ft 0m in the bank and Wildcard left.

        what to do with Ibra and Sanchez ?

        and is it stupid to do transfers now just to avoide price rise and drops? it like 13 days to next gw alot can happend

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Wait.

          1. Henning
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Ok thanx. And wildcard should perhaps be best to use 1 week before a dgw right?

            1. Epic Fail
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Or the week after the DGW to fix your team.

                • 11 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                Damn didnt think of that : )

      • Somalion
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        As an Ibra captainer, Costa and Haz blanks with Siggy only getting an assist really ain't the worst.

        Both Chelsea and Burnley losing their CSs stings...

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Its bad if you didn't captain Sanchez.

          1. Somalion
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Meh, could be worse, could be one of those Man City fans who'll inevitably swap allegiance to Chelsea next season.

        2. TOBY1
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Captained Jesus. Still waiting.

      • Duffy Dunk
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Following up on my previous question:
        So is it 3 price changes per gameweek no matter if they're up or down, or there is a limit up and limit down, within which a player's price can move?
        Example: going down -0.2, then going up +0.3?

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Yes. 3 price changes maximum.

        2. Netley Lucas
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          yeah 3 is max, but don't expect these type of swings mate.

          1. Netley Lucas
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Ah, see what he means now, 3 moves... yeah, think EF is right, just 3, up or down.

          2. Fred54
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Might happen on Gabbiadini lol.

            1. Netley Lucas
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

          • 16 Years

          +/- 0.3

          Could go up 0.3 then down 0.6 in this break.

          1. Netley Lucas
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Ah right, you can't got up/down 4 but unlimited under that lol

        Hazard or Mane? Thanks

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years

          Hazard

        2. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years

          Mane

      • Captain Blanks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        How much do we think Sanchez price will fall between now and the gw 28 deadline?
        I'm thinking of selling after the fa cup games next week (bought at 11.4 so sp will probably be 11.5 by then) and then re-buying for gw29. I reckon his price could fall to about 11.2/11.3 by then so i'd effectively be making .2/.3 profit

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Penciled in 11.2 here, lower the better ching-ching lol

        2. Fred54
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Let's say he goes down 0.3 by deadline (or the night after) of GW26. 11.5

          Then goes up 0.1/0.2 for his GW27 fixture. 11.7/11.8

          Think less people will shed for the GW28 blank, as lots of other players missing and if you still have him, why sell? Possibly 11.7/11.8 at GW28 deadline.

          and then through the week rise to 11.9 at GW29 deadline.

          1. Fred54
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Whoops, should be

            "Then goes up 0.1/0.2 for his GW27 fixture. 11.6/11.7..... Possibly 11.6/11.7 at GW28 deadline."

          2. Captain Blanks
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Do you think he would go up 0.2 for gw27 after he's just blanked and then faces liv, BLANK? (genuine question btw not being sarcastic).
            My thinking is that most of the people selling now are people planning ahead who have looked at the next 3 fixtures, it's not likely to be casual/bandwagon sellers who are reacting to current gw form (for obvious reasons). Once the reality of the gw26 blanks kick in, i think the more casual players will start to sell

            1. Fred54
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              That's how stupid the price changes are this season.

      • Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I had been planning to only bring in players with a game in GW28 but Mane against an awful Leicester with an ageing defence is too tempting. I would end up with only 7 for GW28 if no hits taken.

        What is the consensus around here?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Leicester getting a FA Cup replay could mean no GW26.

          1. Art Vandelay
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Cheers TM. I am planning to wait, either way. I have cultivated TV in the first half of the season so,happy to leak some in the second half.

      • NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        How's about these moves ? I'm not doing now, but waiting for FA Cup results.

        Team Now: Sanchez - Alli - Eriksen - Phillips - De Roon

        Sanchez + De Roon -> ???
        A: Hazard + Morrison
        B: Mane + Lanzini

      • RAFA THE GAFFA

        Got the exact money to do this for a -4 tonight?...

        Yes or no? Thanks 🙂

        Sanchez+Ibra+Carroll > Hazard+Costa+Lukaku

        Heaton
        Alonso - Walker - Coleman
        Eriksen - Hazard - Siggy - Phillips
        Kane - Lukaku - Costa

        1. Lawrø
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          How/when do you plan to get Sanchez and Ibra back?

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Sanchez GW29. Hazard out probably. Could wait on Ibra. What you reckon matey? 🙂

            1. Lawrø
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Not sure I like it. I'd definitely wait on doing your transfers... imagine doing that and Kane gets injured in the cup or United get knocked out

              1. RAFA THE GAFFA
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                True yeah! Hmm, tough one this is going to be! What you planning? Just waiting?

                1. Lawrø
                  • 14 Years
                  8 years, 10 months ago

                  I'll probably ditch Sanchez but possibly Ibra. I'm assuming there'll be at least one other GW28 fixture we don't know about yet so I'm waiting to see what that'll be before making my transfer

                  1. RAFA THE GAFFA
                    • 9 Years
                    8 years, 10 months ago

                    Sanchez+Carroll > Mane+Lukaku is very tempting now before the rises like

                    1. Lawrø
                      • 14 Years
                      8 years, 10 months ago

                      Can you not afford it otherwise?

        2. Christophe Savage
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Like the moves, hate the timing. Wait and just downgrade either costa or hazard when prices out.

        3. NATSTER
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          It could be worth the early transfer.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        The worst part in owning Rondon and Phillips is that I see them get multiple near goals on MOTD, then they disappoint for another week.

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Needs to take a leaf out of McAuley's book

          Doesn't even need to be near the ball to get near goals

              Up 8%. If Hull can beat Burnley, game on.

          LEI looks juicy?

          Strange that Palace have longer odds than Sunderland since both on the same points. Maybe based on goal difference.

          Jaku

          Burnley away from home are dreadful & Bournemouth seem to always score...

        3. Netley Lucas
          • 10 Years

          BOU can still score, BUR a bit meh on the road, maybe Jak.

        4. MTPockets
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Foster i think.

        7. Lone Wolf FPL
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Need to fix that defense: Alonso, Holebas, Evans, Friend, Holgate so want to get Coleman but how to get funds?

          a) Phillips > Morrison (is he nailed)
          b) Eriksen > Pedro / Antonio / Barkley
          c) Alonso > Baines
          d) Ibra > Costa

          d) is 3-4-3 next GW. rest is 4-4-2.

          1. MTPockets
              8 years, 10 months ago

              d

            8 years, 10 months ago

            With amazing fixtures of chelsea and spurs...who are essential to have

            A.kane
            B. Eriksen
            C, costa
            D. Hazard

            Select any two..avoid doubling up

            1. Lone Wolf FPL
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              B+C

                • 10 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                How about a+c

                1. Lone Wolf FPL
                  • 10 Years
                  8 years, 10 months ago

                  oh, though it must be mid and striker. a+c better

            2. Netley Lucas
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              That's easy, Kane & Hazard.

            Heaton Jones* Ibra* Amat

            2ft, 0.1itb

            Sanchez to Hazard and..

            A) Mustafi > Brunt
            B) Mustafi > Walker
            C) Mustafi > Alonso
            D) Mustafi & Jones > Alonso/Walker & Brunt -4

            • 9 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            So I'm planning for the GW28 blanks and need to shift out either Ibra or Sanchez this week

            Then it's goodbye to Alli, Defoe and Amat

            So who should I bring in this week?

            It's either Rondon, Carroll or Llorente

            OR

            Antonio, Barkley, Snodgrass, Stanislas

            Surely worth using h FT rather than having a blank in GW26

            Or am I missing something?

            1. Bellerinmondo
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              None of those options look super appealing. Barkley I guess. King from Bournemouth could be a better bet than Stan ( I own Stan)

            2. MTPockets
                8 years, 10 months ago

                Not sure. With Costa/Lukau none of Rondon, Carroll or Llorente appeal personally. Leaving Kane perhaps.
                Mids - west ham for me, but can't decide which. Ideally Antonio/Lanzini but latter doesn't always get 90 mins.

                So waiting on further news before transferring either.

                Has to be Barkley here.

            3. Bellerinmondo
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Maguire or Mawson for blanks and beyond ?
              Was planning Maguire until today!

              1. Prøfeßör …
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                Mawson and Jak.

              2. MTPockets
                  8 years, 10 months ago

                  Maybe getting Mawson for Amat, but have Jaku already.

                • suddenorgan
                  • 15 Years
                  8 years, 10 months ago

                  Maguire if you need a GW26 option

              3. Henning
                • 11 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                Is there anywhere i can see the average transfers so far.

                i have done 46 transfer , thats to many i think

                1. Epic Fail
                  • 15 Years
                  8 years, 10 months ago

                  No such thing as too many. Only too many if the transfer doesn't work.

                Hi.
                A) Anichebe -> under 7.0
                B) Ibra -> Costa
                C) Sanchez -> Hazard

                  same issue!

                  thinking sanchez - hazard/mane or anichebe - carroll

                    Gw26: Sanchez > Mane

                    Gw29: Phillips > Sanchez

                    Leaves 11 for next week, 10 for gw28 with Ibra, Jesus, Mane, Alonso on bench. Decent plan?

                    *Aware of potential Mane blank but think Leicester will avoid a replay at all cost with CL and a relegation dogfight on their hands.
